72% of American Jews maintain elevated engagement after Oct. 7
Some really interesting data in this article. Anecdotally from my own experience some of the Israel numbers seem a little inflated but overall the engagement numbers look really spot on.
I'd really like to see the data with the corresponding questions.
What about anyone else? Have you experienced and/or observed higher Jewish engagement since Oct 7?
"The data shows that when people show up, the experiences they’re having are overwhelmingly positive," Kramer said. "But showing up is just the beginning. It’s on us to nurture friendships, create spaces that foster a sense of belonging, and offer meaningful Jewish experiences that turn moments of engagement into lasting community."
My Jewish engagement shifted several times in my life, and October 7th didn't really change it all that much, but I saw the effect it had on others.
It hasn't changed for me much either, however I have left other things that took up a lot of my interest (in particular activism) so it feels bigger.
But I've also seen a bigger impact on others like you have.
